    But we never know her hidden motives (if any)

    So far the motive shown is that she wants to get married ASAP to show the ex-boyfriend. I think she sees the prof as an easy and safe pawn for her to carry out her plan of getting married. Different from other single younger men. I dare to bet that if the ex wants to get back together, she is willing to dump prof.

    You mean to say PSH is so expert in cheating that the first thing when got caught  ,what Comes to his mind is hide the evidence , totally agree .

    An expert in cheating will not get two phones. But disguise her name as someone else, like the slippery smooth Dr. Shin.

     

    And I went to edit my post above because apparently the personal pronoun "it" was misunderstood as "cheating", when it was supposed to be "beating"

    He was not shell shocked , he was busy calculating how he should get rid of the sim card . He had full senses , in the midst of it , he was able to take the SIM card out of the phone ,

    Exactly. He was not shell shocked because he already knows the drill, and he was able to take out the SIM card. Only goes to show it was not the first time it (beating) happened to him.

     

    @partyon @joccu I am so looking forward to the 40s couple's confrontation too!

    Abuse is a pattern of behavior. BHR is not an abuser and her husband is not a victim of abuse.

    She hit him twice already when she is upset things don't go her way. And judging by PSH's reaction that time we saw him being hit until nose bleed, it wasn't the first time she did that. A normal person's reflex would be shocked and defensive to receive such unexpected violent beating, but he just sat there, not moving when she took the cushion, like he already knows what's to come upon him. She sat down, not getting the answer she wants, she got up, walked across and hit him again. She knew he would stay there and receive her beating. He even have to ask permission to stop his bleeding?

    Then in the OST clip, we see that the way she hit him is also the same way. Him sitting down and she slapping him using both hands. It shows that her hands are not unfamiliar to hitting him that way.

    I understand that the "no kiss" maybe for health reasons because of the pandemic.

    I thought about this. But nah... look at the other kiss that happened in ep.17... <_<

    a forehead kiss?

    My hungry soul will squeal even just with a forehead kiss after the vows and bows. Then I might forgive the shoes scene. So stingy the production team <_<

    she is human not a saint so she will want to hurt him for the pain he inflicted on her.

    Is PSH a saint then? He is human too, so it’s possible that he made a mistake, ie.fall into the temptation of sleeping with another woman... I get the impression that BHR has done absolutely nothing wrong and PSH is the only one with wrongdoings. No, both are in the wrong and both have to evaluate themselves, change as necessary depending on what they decided as a couple and as individuals. 
     

    Anyway, I have enough of 30s couple, I actually skipped watch their scenes. I am now more interested in the 40s couple. Waiting for all hell to break loose :naughty:
    Anyone thought about what if when stepmom did kiss stepson successfully, the ghost will suddenly come to life? Or maybe, the kiss made his soul takes over son’s body? I did. I am mashing the genres now :joy:

    Edit: At the end of the episode, 

    I cannot interpret what strategy BW side is planning, when four of them (BW,SK,CB,Lady Jo) try to escape, SK is caught by the Royal guards.

    They're trying to climb into the compound (west palace) where BW's aunt is being held in exile. It's a place that SK suggested will be safe for them to live because LYC would not think of searching for them there.

     

    @Lmangla I might not be able to do the poll... Question 3 is super difficult to vote on!? 

    In SK's tone for question 3 "how impudent!" :lol:

    I don't believe the 40's wife will truly grasp her husband is having an affair. She will stupidly ask her husband about the jacket. He'll give her yet another lie/story and she'll accept it like a dumb@$$.

    If she did, husband still have a way of explaining that maybe the boyfriend is his classmate. He gave to his friend, his friend gave to his girlfriend. Except that the classmate supposedly live overseas.... I sure hope she starts questioning instead of stupidly believing.

    It was also played in season 1 when the med student was in cardio surgery with Junwan and got to touch the heart. It paralleled with Junwan doing the same when he was a student.

    It’s Pachelbel’s Canon in D. There are many versions/covers, so if you’re looking for the same exact version in drama, it may be difficult to find as I don’t think they release the instrumental BGM. 
     

    Here’s one version

    he only issue is Did Jeongwon really confides in SongHwa in season 1 about Gyeoul?

    I don’t think he confided explicitly by mentioning her name. But being a good close friend, SHwa would have some clues about it because she teased him about Gyeoul by using her name. The part where JWon told her he has someone he wants to tell first (about his decision of not going) and SHwa turned to open the window and said “Winter is coming. Winter is really here” since the name Gyeoul literally means winter. And JWon smiled.

    During the marriage counselling, we would adopt this approach "Pick up the Mirror (self reflection), instead of Magnifying Glass."

    This is a very good motto! Thank you. I shall remember it well and share with others too.

    I really hope to see these three wives take a brave step and contribute to a better life for themselves. 

    This is what I've been more interested in seeing since the beginning of season 1 - how the wives will deal with their marriage crisis and triumph over it. Which is one of the reasons why I kinda skip-watching the second half of season 1 when the drama only concentrates on the husbands' affairs in flashbacks. Those were the eye-rolling and barfing episodes.

    But a good husband should be able to communicate with his partner and not talk about his marriage issues with a woman he is sexually attracted to .  They are terrible for each other though

    He tried, but he was always shot down by BHR's curt replies. That's why communication cannot happen between them, because it is not two-way, only one way.

     

    Yes, he shouldn't have talked about his marriage issues with another woman. It will be better if it's a male friend, but maybe he doesn't have one?

     

    No, he is not initially attracted sexually to SW, despite him looking at her butt. I see that as admiring a good body at any gym. If he were sexually attracted to her, he wouldn't have told her he has a wife, and will try to deceive her into a sexual relationship. He was honest with SW and with his wife, although withholding some information from wife for fear of negative reaction.

     

    Yes, PSH and BHR are a terrible match. But if both are willing to change, the marriage can still work.

    as much as I heard about marriage counseling  , they will not ask anyone to change , that will put a stop for people turning up for counseling , counseling helps the spouses to better communicate , it will give them a format to talk which they are unable to do it normally and they have to find acceptable solutions by themselves .

    Counsellors will not use the explicit words "you have to change this/that", but they will say "have you considered doing this/that?, have you tried this/that?"... It is the same as asking someone to change... just worded more diplomatically and subtly. Those psychologists have a way to steer people that way. There is no way spouses can communicate better if they don't change the way they communicate. That is change. Don't expect a different result if you never change the way you do things.

  14. I believe PSH and BHR will never have a heart to heart talk, because BHR is just not a listener to her husband. They can never have good communication because that actually requires both sides to listen and to speak. It’s such an irony that BHR is doing so well in her job as a radio MC, able to listen to audience and respond nicely, but not in her personal life. I guess it’s because her reply was written by someone else? But it doesn’t seem that way though since it’s more like she replied candidly. 
     

    By my standard, PSH is a good husband, until the moment he slept with SW. He was always eager to please his wife and make her happy/laugh. But his wife often looked at him with disdain especially when he wants to do something that is not in line with her wish. It seems like he is a hassle in her life. She also does not talk nicely to him except when she has an agenda, only then she will talk sweetly to him. In other words, she took him (and his devotion) for granted. 
     

    These are the impressions I get from watching Season 1. Of course it’s been so long ago, I could be wrong? Maybe I should rewatch their scenes?.... Naaah... no time. There are other great dramas waiting for me to be watched. 
     

    Some of you mentioned that they should’ve gone for counseling, (or was it just the husband only? It won’t work btw. Both have to be present) but guess what the counsellor will say to BHR as a wife? I am sure more or less is to change the way she treats her husband. Same goes for the husband, change some of his way. Why? Because change is the key to new results new outcomes. Don’t ever expect new/better result if you don’t change a single thing. If you keep doing things the same way, you will only get the same result. There are many good reads on change if you’re interested. One of them is the famous “Who Moved My Cheese?”, very short easy to read book. Another is “The Change Monster” although this is dealing more on corporate stuff, but the idea is basically the same. If you don’t change, you don’t improve.

     

    A quick link below if you’re interested to read quotes on change.

    There is nothing wrong with BHR changing the way she is. It doesn’t mean she will lose herself, but it means she will improve herself.
